Resize an Image & Email with just 2 steps

Got to know from Vinod Unny's tweet that you can select some pics in Explorer and click the "Email" button to auto-resize to emailable format in Windows7.

This feature works in Windows XP & Vista too! Right click a large image that you want to email. Choose Send To > Mail Recipient -


As soon as you do that, Windows XP provides an option to let you resize it -



The dialog box is a little different in Vista -


That's it!

Things Near Me – Find & Learn About Landmarks Nearby

Image
Back in 2012, I was planning to build a location-aware app that would tell me about interesting sights & news-worthy facts about places that fall in the way of a train journey. I discovered that Web Dev guru Chris Heilmann ( @codepo8 ) had built a nifty app on a similar theme and shared the JavaScript code under the BSD license.  Things Around You used the browser's geolocation feature to find Wikipedia articles on nearby landmarks via the GeoNames API & list them with a brief description. For a Windows 8 app hackathon, I utilized the Geolocation detection idea to build a little app that I called GeoBuzz & posted it on the Windows 8 App Store. It's been on the back of my mind to extend it with more features. Now that GitHub Copilot is here, there was no need to procrastinate. I had a friendly chat with GitHub Copilot ( Gemini Flash model ). In under an hour, I customized @codepo8's original sample to include a map directly on the web page instead of linking t...

This Week I Learned - Week #8 2025

This Week I Learned -  *  Langflow is a low-code app builder for RAG and multi-agent AI applications. It’s Python-based and agnostic to any model, API, or database. *  Andrej Karpathy's review of Grok 3 - As far as a quick vibe check over ~2 hours this morning, Grok 3 + Thinking feels somewhere around the state of the art territory of OpenAI's strongest models (o1-pro, $200/month), and slightly better than DeepSeek-R1 and Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking. Which is quite incredible considering that the team started from scratch ~1 year ago, this timescale to state of the art territory is unprecedented.   *  Thirukural dataset on Huggingface * To search on GitHub Communities for a user's posts - category:Copilot author:username * The Sydney-headquartered company Canva has more than 200 million users worldwide. India is Canva’s fourth largest market.  * Speed-watching is basically listening or watching content at accelerated speeds. YouTube updated c...

Google Mobilizer Bookmarklet - view just text of web pages

Image
[Update: 2024]  -  Google has discontinued the Web Light service and retired the Web Light user agent. Therefore, this bookmarklet doesn't work anymore. [Update: Jan 2018] - The original Google Mobilizer service page isn't available anymore & the term Mobilizer doesn't appear to be used by Google anymore. While the bookmarklet mentioned below still works, it redirects to the googleweblight.com domain & then transcoded . I'll further update this article later. You can use Google Mobilizer application, when you need a mobile-friendly version of webpage. If you are on a low-bandwith Internet connection, Google Mobilizer can be used on a PC or laptop to view just the text (and optionally images). Before you read further, you can see how this page looks with and without images after being processed by Google Mobilizer. While you're there take a good look at the URL if you want to understand the bookmarklet code that I'm going to talk about next. ...
